Nothing is better then the first day of flip flop season and when you can shed your coat for items that are much lighter than what we've been sporting as of late! So yesterday, for all the soccer fans, we had our second game which was another draw. But it was warmer and sunnier (not to say that there wasn't a chill running through us - but no complaints in comparisson to last game). I was able to walk to congressman (please don't ask me who) with a fellow Metro Girl to kick the first ball. It was a lot of fun and we could see ourselves on the HUGE screen. We even made a human tunnel for the players when they got on the field. I can say with all surety that our duties will be even more fun when the weather co-operates with our assigned agendas. I also must say that I love the fans. It is so much fun to sign autographs and see cute little girls and boys get super siked when we sign something for them. Especially those that have come to the last home games because it wasn't the warmest of weathers. I know that all of the team has been talking about how much they love hanging out in the fans stand cheering, learning more about everything and just being in this super charged environment. Outside of the world of sports --
I went to a very cool lounge this weekend, Libation with my boyfriend which was a lot of fun because we could casually sit, dance and just enjoy one another's company. It seemed like all week had been running from one casting call and design event to another. Once again not complaining because being busy is always good but you respect the times when you don't have to be! Also it helps that you can temporarily get away from it all with a day at the park, some yummie foods from a corner vendor (which seems to taste the best when it is warmer). I don't know if I added this in a previous post but, I have become the dating editor of Big Apple Style so people somehow have come to love my advice and now they will have another place to find it. As far as the line goes, we are still putting together a kick ass event for Fashion Week and trying to find the best venue for it. So if those of you are promoters let me know and I would love to hear your ideas. I believe that that's about it but I wanted to check in and say hello. For those in NYC and in NJ, we have a Friday game for the Metro Stars as Giant Stadium so that's on the 22nd and I hope that it will be super warm. I will be going to Vegas for a few days and will have to report back on that one for everyone. Also towards the end of this month, I hope to have great news of somewhere else that you can catch me as well :)
Much Love

Odds & Ends But The Love is Always There ....
Once again, I am promising that there will be more regularity to my blog! But today I have a lot of odds and ends that I wanted to share and without knowing where to beging first, I'm just grabbing whatever first comes to mind! First off, the Metro Stars kicked off their first game of the season on 04.02.05. Although it was super rainy and windy the Metro Girls had a great time meeting the fans and getting to know one another. It was amazing how much people embraced this new addition to the team and I am glad that I was able to be a part of it. Nothing was better then taking pictures with the fans and getting people to get to know more about us! So to my Metro Girls' sisters I give huge hugs and I can't wait to see you guys next game!!!
In additional news, Kitten by Sikara Designs Group just participated in a photoshoot that will be updated on the site very soon. This means that you will definitely see a variety of items on the site that were not there and launches our official spokesmodel of the line as well. As we get closer to Fashion Week, you will see a lot more info in relation to where the show will be in NYC and how you can become a part of it. This is going to be a lot of fun since the line will have been out for a year, I will be celebrating my birthday and of course new pieces of the line will be revealed - concluding in a fun after party where we can all just kick back after all the hard work has been done.
As you know I have my own radio show, but I also have signed on to Big Apple Style.net to write about relationships and other material that surrounds this issue. I think you guys will want to check it out but you should still check in here every so often so that you can hear random thoughts that may not make it on to the site. If you are not familiar with this site - it is the guide of NYC. From having reviews on restaurants and lounges, there are also interviews from a variety of artists and actors. In addition, it is all about fashion which is definitely why I have been a reader for the past year. To be asked to bring my know how to this site is an honor and I look forward to sharing my experiences and knowledge with you guys and of course making sure to bring in elements involving fashion and entertainment as well.
Outside of this what else? Today's weather was absolutely amazing! It was 70 some degrees and I was actually able to open my windows and feel cool breezes. It seems like just yesterday that I had to bundle up in way too many layers of clothing. I know we are not completely out of the woods but this was something that made me remember why I love the city when it's warm.
For all of those out there that are models - this week seems like a huge week for casting for shows at MTV and VH1 so kudos to those that are trying to get on these shows. I know that I have been asked to attend some castings and will be a part of some audience scenes as well which is equally as exciting.
How could I forget?? In addition to soccer starting - baseball is here. This is one of my favorite sports so I am definitely pleased about this. Already I have had friends play hookie from work and school to go to the games and how you can blame them - great weather, hotdogs and Derek Jeter hehe. Well, this was just me catching up on what's going on with me and what I know people are doing in general. I am apartment hunting again so I am definitely moving at the end of the year and I am in the middle of planning my vacation to the Bahamas so any suggestions on must see places - feel free to leave them here :). Much Love to everyone and I'll be on here more frequently letting you guys know what's going on with me. For those in NYC check out this club that I have been a member of for like a year but am going to my first event this month. It's called the Lunch Club.net. People get together with the same interests and go to lunch, special activities, etc and it's a way to expand your network of friends while being with people that share your interests. I have always thought that it was a cool idea but I never had the time and I was a bit nervous to walk in completely cold but in an effort to throw myself into new environments and to be comfortable with it, I will be venturing out so we shall see what I think about this. I think it will be fun. I love meeting people and going to new places so this is going to be a nice change.
Much Love
Kimmie

Do You Love Soccer?
Do you love soccer? I have always liked it but now I must say that I LOVE it. Maybe it's purely selfish but, I just became a Metro Girl which is the cheerleading counterpart to Major League Soccer's - NY Metro Stars that plays at Giant Stadium. I am super excited to be joining the 10 other girls on the team and cheering and meeting fans throughout the 2005 season!
On Mon, as a part of our official duties, we were introduced during 'Media Day' and were able to meet a variety of newspapers throughout the state of NJ and NY. I couldn't believe how crazy it was! Not only was this my first experience at being in front of cameras on that level, I didn't realize how full of press, execs and the team would make BB Kings when we were presented on stage. Our first game is on the 2nd of April at our home owner and I can't wait to meet you guys and learn much more about the game!

My First Time ...
I thought I would check in with everyone and say how I siked I was in regards to my very first Fashion Week experience! Today I saw Christos' new line of waist jewelry! Of course we think about adorning our necks but how about making some pizzaz for our waists as well. Many of these items had amazing embellishments, fur and much more. Definitely something that was unique. In addition to the pieces, the girls chosen to wear these items were as radiant as the pieces. When I have all the pics, I will post some on the site and let you guys check it out for yourselves.
This was the first of many collaborations between Kitten and Big Apple Style. It was interesting when we took pictures at Bryant Park - how other photographers came by to see who we were and what we were up to! So of course she explained that she was the Editor of her magazine and that I was the founder and designer of Kitten and of course people thought that we were twins; however, they had to be satisfied with the fact that we are only sisters.
Just being there definitely got me thinking about September's Fashion Week and elements of the new line that will be introduced for Spring/Summer 2006. I am also beginning to have an open call for models for future shows, photoshoots and much more so definitely feel free to email me in regards to what you would like to do. If you want to hang out in person, come to the Big Six on Friday nights - 8:00 - 11:00pm on 97 Bowery! Not only is there great music and our friendly bartender Hara but you will be able to network with many people that are looking to meet other people in the city while also getting a chance to get to know me as well.
I can't believe how fast this month is going but we are that much closer to the summer which is always fine by me!
Much Love
Kimmie

Spreadin' the Love
I am super siked about recent developments with Kitten! The prototypes look great with a lot of the designs that will be released this spring/summer. I promised some pics but they can't be released just yet but know that they are hot and you will definitely want to snatch them up!
On the personal front, can you believe that it is almost Valentine's Day? It seems like the year is already zipping by and we have barely begun. I love this time of year - right now it's not too chilly, the magazines are already showing summer sneak peaks and you don't mind leaving your house to go out and about. I am setting up this year's Valentine's extravaganza for my boyfriend and I and am still deciding between the details. If anyone can help me in regards to awesome spas or restaurants in NYC, it would be much appreciated.
Feel free to stop by and say hello whether you are coming from Blogger or whether you are coming from my site at Sikara. Also, does anyone know how we can create a link page on this site??? I would love to add links of my favorite blogs or something of that nature. As promised, I am going to make more of an effort to write more - it could be purely random or it could be something that's really interesting. For those of you out there that love good reading, I have a great site that I would love to tell you about so once I figure out the links I will make that list available so you guys can read this amazing online novel!!
Much Love
Kimmie

New Effort ....
Ok,
So I am definitely making a new effort to write more frequently within this. It helps since I have a lot more going on and I welcome any comments that you guys may have out there. So the first huge thing is for those of you that may not be aware, I launched my fashion line Kitten, 'resort inspired activewear embellished with Swarovski Crystals for those who wish to run errands, brunch with the girls and to go out on a night on the town'. I did this in a big way by producing and hosting the Kitten & Co Fashion Show and Kitten After Party on 09.14.04 @ Azaza during Fashion Week in NYC. It was amazing to see people from all over the music industry attending the event and spreading the love!
The thing about doing a major event is that after all the planning you feel like at the conclusion you are at a loss for what to do next. I followed up my event with a breast cancer event 'Fight for Pink' @ Mission in Oct, that showcased my line and had amazing musical talent from Universal Records (and yes I organized this event as well).
So this kind of brings me to currently what I am up to ... Kitten will be featured in the 'Fete de L'Amour' Fashion Show at Monmouth University in NJ later on this month. This is awesome because I will be showing Kitten with many new items such as the Diva Collection and also handbags which is something very new for me.
In March I will be providing a set entitled 'Adored by Kitten' for the Israel Humanitarian Foundation which is a Spring Fashion Show that will be held at Avalon in NYC! My items will share the same space as Isaac Mizrahi, Marc Jacobs and more on the runway which is very big for an indie designer!
Of course as my news continues to grow, I have signed on for a Fashion Trunk Show in Philly in May that will allow me to increase my base outside of the city! Once again huge and I'm super siked about this. So that's the new info regarding Kitten.
Over the past few months, people wondered where they could hang out with me and now I have a home of sorts at the Big Six every Fri night from 8:00pm - 11:00pm on 97 Bowery. This is intended as a networking event for those that wish to meet other people in the city and since I am the hostess, I encourage people that are models, designers and photographers and more to come out because it's a great way to meet others in your industry. Also, I am in the process of organizing my photo shoot for new items coming out and although I love posting on Craigslist, I would love to meet you guys in person to put the name, face and personality together. Speaking of that, I did obtain a spokesmodel for 2005, Dorian a fellow model and singer/songwriter who will be in Lucky Magazine later this year and a lot of you will get to know her as well.
On the personal front, I am still modeling here and there and have done some TV stuff which was fun and as the months go on, I can't wait to let you in on somethings that are in the works. Until then, I encourage you guys to continue to visit my site, sign up for the newsletters and I just obtained a new address book online which I think will be really nice to keep info for those designers and models that are interested! If you have a question, let me know and send some love my way too.
Much Love

One More Thing!!!
There will be pics within the next blogs which I'm siked about so don't fret about not seeing anything on my blog just yet. I thought I would add that as a side note.
Finally, the Kitten Lounge started its new season so you will hear the best of alternative rock, r&b and much much more. We will be covering a lot of great bands and attending the venues - you can also check out various shows that are in the NYC area by visiting the main website. As you know, the Kitten Lounge merges the best in fashion and entertainment. Make sure you check out first Wed's to hear from our contributing Style Guru, Dori, from Big Apple Style. In March, she will be recapping on her experiences during Feb's Fashion Week and other information.
Much Love,
Kimmie
